RNAi system allows us to see the phenotypes when some genes are removed from living cells. By observing these phenotypes, we can build signaling pathways without dealing with the chemistry inside the cell. However it is costly in terms of time and space complexity. Furthermore, there are some interactions RNAi data cannot distinguish that results in many different signaling pathways all of which are consistent with the RNAi data. In this paper, we combine genetic algorithms with some greedy approaches to find most of the networks that fits the RNAi experiments. Our algorithm works much faster than previous algorithms and finds many results in a small amount of time. The resulting topologies have equal priority which would be used as inputs of classification algorithms.

Evaluating Oxygen Tensions Related to Bone Marrow and Matrix for MSC Differentiation in 2D and 3D Biomimetic Lamellar Scaffolds Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Mudera, Vivek; Cheema, Umber; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2021-04-01) The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5%) and matrix (12%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of ost...
A mechanistic insight into selective de novo DNA methylation regulated by base-specific hydrogen bonding profile Barlas , Ayşe Berçin; Karaca , Ezgi (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) The mammalian DNA methylation regulates diverse biological processes at the epigenetic level, such as ageing, embryonic development, reprogramming, chromatin modification, and X chromosome inactivation. Abnormalities in the DNA methylation disrupts integral molecular signaling mechanisms, leading to the severe diseases, especially cancer. DNA methylation occurs mainly at CpG islands through the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to the 5' carbon of the target cytosine. De novo met...
IDENTIFYING ISOFORM SWITCHES IN BREAST CANCER HENDEN, Şevki Onur; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-9-9) Characterizing the human genome's molecular functions and their variations across people is vital for understanding the cellular processes behind human genetic characteristics and diseases. With the advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), it is now possible to investigate gene expression in individual cells. Although a number of scRNA-seq bioinformatics tools are now available, many of them focus on overall gene expression levels and, as a result, often ignore heterogeneity caused by individual tr...
Investigating the potential of bacillus calmette-guerin vaccine russia strain, cpg oligonucleotides and intravenous immunoglobulin to induce trained immunity in the context of antiviral immunity Baydemir, İlayda; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2020-10-12) Innate immune cells undergo metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in response to specific stimuli, that enable a more robust immune response to secondary exposure to a wide variety of pathogens. This process of innate immune memory development has been termed as Trained Immunity (TI). BCG vaccine is one well-known inducer of innate immune memory. In vivo administration of CpG ODNs or Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) can also exert heterologous anti-microbial protective immunity. In this thesis, we sought ...
Prediction of transmembrane regions of g protein-coupled receptors using machine learning techniques Çınar, Muazzez Çelebi; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the largest and the most significant membrane receptor families in eukaryotes. They transmit extracellular stimuli to the inside of the cell by undergoing conformational changes. GPCRs can recognize a diversity of extracellular ligands including hormones, neurotransmitters, odorants, photons, and ions. These receptors are associated with a variety of diseases in humans such as cancer and central nervous system disorders, and can be proclaimed as one of the most...
